		Enterococcus is a genus of bacteria of the phylum Firmicutes.
		In the last two decades, particularly virulent strains of Enterococcus which are resistant to vancomycin (Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus, or VRE) have emerged in nosocomial infections of hospitalized patients.
		It is believed to provide a higher correlation than fecal coliform with many of the human pathogens often found in sewage (source: [1]).

		The existence of enterococci in such a dual role is facilitated, at least in part, by its intrinsic and acquired resistance to virtually all antibiotics currently in use.

		Enterococcus species are hardy, facultative anaerobic organisms that can survive and grow in many environments.
		In the laboratory, enterococci are distinguished by their morphologic appearance on Gram stain and culture (gram-positive cocci that grow in chains) and their ability to (1) hydrolyze esculin in the presence of bile, (2) grow in 6.5% sodium chloride, (3) demonstrate pyrrolidonyl arylamidase and leucine aminopeptidase, and (4) react with group D antiserum.
